Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

You use AT&T call protect or any number of 3rd party devices for blocking calls.

*60 is for a traditional landline, if that's not what you have follow the instructions in this topic

Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

Only way to be sure is to access your phone features in your Myatt account and see how many are blocked. You can selectively remove them or remove them all.

Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

Two different things. Also these instructions are for U-verse service.

*61 blocks the last number that called you:

Right after the unwanted call stops ringing, pick up the phone and dial *61. This will:

Add that number to your blocked listTurn on the call blocking feature

*60 turns the feature on and * 80 turns it off:

To activate call blocking, dial *60. To turn it off, dial *80

Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

Let me see if I have this right - if I have Uverse phone service, when an unwanted call comes in, I wait until it has stopped ringing, pick up the phone and dial *61. This adds the number to the list. Then I must dial *60 to turn on the call blocking feature. Is this correct?Thanks,lightguy

Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

Basically, once on it will remain on until you cancel it. If you add a number to the block list with *61 it adds the number and turns blocking on. They figure if you block the last number you want it on

Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

For a company whose mission it is to facilitate communication, ATT sure does a poor job of communicating with its customers and allowing people to communicate with you. I have experienced many cases of the classic, "the right hands knows not what the left hand is doing"!When attempting to contact ATT about problems I'm having, by the time I hang up the phone I'm frustrated, tired, usually angry and stressed, and believe I wasted way too much time with you. If I were billing you for my time at my standard hourly rate, you would very quickly take care of the problems. But that will never happen.If I could easily switch to another company where I would not experience a lot of these or other problems, I'd have been gone a long time ago. My friends and family all experience similar problems with other companies. If phone and internet were not so critical to the day-to-day operation of my businesses, I'd seriously consider cancelling it I think that is a pretty sad reflection on ATT. But no one seems to care at ATT or it would have been rectified a long time ago. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Which explains the popularity of these user to user forums, where experienced users boil down all of the facts, tips and tricks to navigating AT&T's sometimes-confusing communication and entertainment products. I've learned a lot here that would have been much (MUCH) harder gathering through the 'official' channels.

Re: how do i add numbers to blocked call list

Talk about a waste of time. What does all that have to do with your question?
